Mr Wazoo spent the day digging and planting and generally having a good time outdoors. It was a perfect day for it, sunny and mild. Molly and I stopped to say hello on the way to the studio.

| I wanted a nice picture of the glorious hydrangea, and then I spied this... |
 |
| What the heck?! These leaf bugs are everywhere!! |

| Molly and I left him to it, and began our day in the studio. |
First, I loaded a comfort quilt for the guild, and started quilting it while I made the binding for the giant quilt from yesterday. The one thing I like about the APQS, is that once I have the quilt loaded and the settings entered into the computer properly, it can do a row without me looking at it every second. This gives me a few moments to sew while the row is being quilted. I sewed the blocks from yesterday, and put them on the design wall. I'll tackle the rest of the sewing later. It is a free pattern called Belle Wave.

| Blocks on the wall. I tried a gray background...I'm not sure I like it. It looks a bit dingy. |
 |
| Yikes! This quilt is big and the binding process looked like a quilt volcano on my sewing table. |
I finished the comfort quilt and went on full speed to quilt three smaller charity quilts. One has been bound, and I will do the other ones )and the comfort quilt) tomorrow.

Comfort quilt.
Made by guild members for a member who is having a n especially difficult time with their life.
Its a hug every time they wrap up in the quilt. |

| The binding is the same fabric as the back. I'll do that tomorrow. |

| Charity quilt number one is bound and ready to go! |
